One of Flatbush’s youngest monsters coming into the hip hop scene is 22Love. Known for their extremely high energy on wax, visually, and at their performances, the young collective are paying their dues and earning their stripes musically. Their most recent release is the new visual, “Rollin Wit’ Me,” directed by Pro Era‘s head visual director Dee Frosted. Featuring the three MC’s, watch below as they takeover the NYC streets in a roofless Jeep showcasing their high energy and youthful vibes. Stay tuned to the group’s future moves including their sold out performance slot for Pro Era’s annual “Steez Day” event honoring the legendary deceased Brooklyn MC.

The late Pro Era rhymer dropped an aweful lot of verses this weekend considering that he’s no longer with us. In addition to his feature on SMTH‘s “Last Straw”, a full Capital STEEZ track–set to be on the posthumous release, King Capital–released yesterday courtesy of Joey Bada$$. It’s a great deed the Pro Era boys are doing in keeping Steelo‘s memory alive: given the passion for music and social change he exhibited in his short life, it’s safe to say that they’re doing right by him. It’s important to remember, though, that these are just a group of kids–most of them barely legal adults–attempting to properly pay respects to a fallen friend whose life ended in the most tragic and confusing of fashion. This is far beyond just impressive music–it’s an impressive feat of friendship and strength through mourning. Listen to a bittersweet memory below.
